What if Whatsapp Never returns

some people say their circle of friends use viber, some say whatsapp, personally, my friends and i use whatsapp, even our older family members use whatsapp, its really widespread and is almost the defacto name/tag for instant messaging where i am, i doubt FB bought them to lose that reputation

I still can't believe this is not even OUT yet? Whatsapp should've been taken down and be back in a few hours, it's been almost 3 days!! What about all these people trying to buy the Lumia 630 in Asia? Not able to download the #1 app for Instant Messaging? These things only happen with WP !! So annoyed, it's like a complot!!

People will NEVER understand that no matter how you want to picture it, they're gonna need Whatsapp, Whatsapp, stop WE CHAT and Line happen, people need whatsapp... who wants to have a "smartphone": that can't even run Whatsapp, I mean.. even Asha phones have it...

People are so selfish here I see... they're like , i don't have Whatsapp, I don't seven use it I have skype... LOL
there's what? a billion Whatsapp users in the world... people still think it's not even needed... they're on weed now I guess hahaha

Well, I can't speak for the WhatsApp vs Skype comment, but WhatsApp is pretty awful for alot of people. Frankly, there are just as good, and even better, IM options these days. I don't think its selfish to say, just try something else. ;)

(Alot of people just assume WhatsApp Delivery ✅ is accurate. I have personally found their push delivery to be terrible, via testing on a friends phone. For no reason whatsoever messages won't push. I can't tell you how many times I've opened WhatsApp and had suddenly messages come through, like Push was off and it wasn't. My data wasn't weak or anything. If you google WhatsApp reliability, you'll see its a cross platform issue.)

Then, sell it to me, everybody here who wants to sell his phone if WhatsApp never comeback, sell it to me!

Come on! There is a lot, A LOT of alternative to that app! I don't gonna throw away my precious Lumia 925 for an app!

What exactly should I sell to you? That comment makes no sense.

You have to do whatever meets your needs. If you don't need or use Whatsapp, that's splendid. Good for you. Nonetheless, I need it. I need it that much that it's a reason to change to another platform should it not be available anymore.

Even if this wouldn't be a rational decision - I have explained why I need it, it's the standard here, everybody uses it - it would still be my own decision to make. And believe me, if it would never return, Windows Phone would it have even much, much worse than now in the Swiss market.

It's strange anyway that I have to defend my opinion in a thread that asks for an opinion. Don't you think?

Anyway, I highly doubt that they won't bring it back. There's even a Blackberry version after all.

Over the years I've seen so many chat clients popping up and disappearing.
Who remembers ICQ, AOL, MSN, MIRC, BBM etc? Who thinks that WhatsApp is here to stay is mistaken. In a few years there will be something new and WhatsApp will be one of the apps that has become a vague memory.

In a few years Apple might be gone. Google might buy Microsoft. Civilization might be destroyed by a third world war. What should I care right now about that?
